Bren Quersey/Legends

Bren Quersey was a Human male pilot and a member of the Rebel Alliance's Red Squadron during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography

Born on Lantillies, Bren Quersey dreamed of attending the Imperial Raithal Academy, but washed out, instilling in him a desire for vengeance against those who failed to see his worth. As a member of the Rebel Alliance's Dantooine Squadron, Quersey was paired with Wedge Antilles, who had trained him on X-wings, by General Jan Dodonna in the hope that Antilles' dedication to the Rebellion would calm Quersey's anger.

In 0 BBY, he was transferred to Red Squadron, taking the place of veteran pilot Jal Te Gniev. Flying a T-65 X-wing starfighter assigned to him by Antilles under the call sign Red Eight, Quersey participated in the Battle of Yavin, scoring a hit on Black Two "Mauler" Mithel, but failing to neutralise the TIE pilot, before being killed in action himself.
